From Bret Michaels: Use Sunblock

A nice PSA from Bret Michaels: always use sunblock and get your skin checked regularly. It is August, so that means it is hot in a whole lot of parts of the world so you are probably prepared to use sunblock and a hat. It is just as important to use sunblock in the winter, especially if you will be outside for an extended amount of time.


It seems like Bret has a lot of health issues, his diabetes aside. I'm glad his skin cancer was caught early.

Now if one of these idiots would do a PSA on the importance of getting vaccinated!

If you are outside today, please remember Sunscreen only works if others are wearing theirs too! Everyone please Sunscreen!!! 😆

Ok. I guess I have to ask it. Why is a 59 year old guy taking shirtless oiled up selfies in the mirror (with the duck lips pout going on to boot)?? Once again, asking for a friend. 🤷‍♂️

Just shut the hell up and get back in your lane yraG.. Why you always gotta be “that guy”? Isn’t the answer obvious? Me thinks Bret sure loves himself some Bret. Stay tuned for the nightly pose off on the stadium tour between Bret and Phil Collen!. There’ll be so much oil on that stage by the time Motley goes on that Vinnie will be able to cook up some Wings and French fries right atop the stage with Nikki’s flame throwing bass…

We like to bag on Bret about his "hair" and self-promotions, but this one is actually right on point. Especially as most of us on here are well into middle age. It doesn't hurt to get checked out by a dermatologist every now and then. Also - Metalboy - Absolutely on point!

@Jeff … good post! Michaels is the punchline sometimes but the few times I have met him he was a real nice dude. Who cares about his wig or extensions, whatever he has going on . He’s a good person, that’s the important thing. He looks to be in great shape and didn’t let himself go like many middle aged guys. He is just self conscious about his hair. Who cares?

This is awesome. Yes. Wear sunblock. However whilst doing a PSA do it solely for the public. Yes, Bret you are in impressive shape for your age and considering you type 1 diabetes. I applaud that immensely. However, if you truly want to showcase a suspicious spot on your torso, does it have to be sooo far away from it so that we conveniently see your oiled physique at a flattering angle?!?!?!?

All is forgiven if your stop playing covers and play songs like Look But Don’t Touch live. Peace

The world today is full of attention whores. Social Media only made them more numerous and eye-role-worthy.

It takes work to look like he does, at any age. So good for him. Why not show it off?

And wig/hair extensions or not, he is still an attractive specimen. So why not share for all to enjoy?

Is anyone really surprised? He's always enjoyed the spotlight. Don't see that changing.

The only sunblock joke I remember hearing from Lewis Black :

"You ever read the ingredients in sunblock? I've never seen those words anywhere. You don't even know what you're putting on your face, do you? You go, "Oh no, the sun's out!" It could be zebra cum; you don't know. You may not like that joke, but you don't know."


From this standup album, good stuff !

Hey, Rita … I remember you mentioning hanging out and partying with various people like Vince Neil, Janie Lane and some others but I can’t remember if you said you partied with Brett Michaels.

Do tell … Well, do tell what you can tell us, haha!!

And any other names you may want to mention, if you dare …

Ha ha Metalboy! you always make me laugh.

Thanks for being interested in my stories. They were fun memories for sure.

And though my BFF and I did get to hang out with a few of our heroes back in the day and make some great memories (ie. Vince, Jani, Jerry Dixon, Blas Elias, Def Leppard (sans Joe), Dio, Bullet Boys (Lonnie), etc., it was always G rated fun. I wasn't a groupie in the true sense. We just liked to party with the band, and always seemed to get invited to hang out, etc.so we did.

I was always paranoid about catching a disease so never got too close, if you catch my drift. Chalk that up to getting strep throat from one of the Motley Crue guys when I stupidly kissed them all at 16, in lieu of getting an autograph at a record signing lol. Learned my lesson after that ha ha. Though now I sometimes regret keeping my distance from some of them ha ha. Especially Jerry, he was such a nice guy and boy was he persistent ha ha.

But no, I never met Brett. But I do think he and Pam Anderson made a gorgeous couple in their day. And he still looks pretty alright to me.

p.s. If we do make it on that MOR cruise, we should trade stories. Would love to hear yours too over some cocktails.

To be clear Rita. I have problem with Bret showing off anything. My point was, to highlight a skin cancer like mark on ones body, one does not highlight it light he did. Simple

@Kixchix So you’re saying it’d be the equivalent of Scarlett Johansson saying “look at my newly painted toenails”, then taking the picture in the shower straight down through her cleavage? (Much like Rita w/Bret, I’d like to see that picture…) 😂👍.
August 12, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterGary
Correct Gary lol, lol, lol
August 12, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterKixchix
I hear you Kixchix.

You are exactly right. We both know the true intent of that post was not sunscreen and skin cancer awareness. Or his post would have been a close up of his mark, which you commented on very accurately.

But, I don't mind. He is an attention whore for sure. And there are so many these days, its ridiculous.

In defense of Michaels (wait I can’t believe I’m saying that), I do believe he’s earnest with this PSA but he and his people probably thought it should be a flattering image rather than some blown out, unattractive clinical looking shot.

Oh, Rita, we definitely have to trade stories on our elopement … er … um … rendezvous … uh, I mean, on The Monsters of Rock Cruise! …

What’s great is we’ll probably be able to trade them with some of the bands and/or band members who are either part of the stories or would be interested in hearing them!

Sign me up Metalboy! First round's on me :)
August 12, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterRita
Thanks Rita. To be clear on this as well Bret is in awesome shape!!!!
August 12, 2021 | Unregistered CommenterKixchix
Yeah, but too bad his creativity level is nil.
